Explorer Tom Old Milestone is probably napping in the grass. Nobody remembers who put it down or why. If you find it, tell it I said its posture needs work, mate!

Explorer Tom River Stour at Wixoe Mill flows with the secrets of the past. I bet the mill wheel is still turning, just waiting for someone to pay the toll.

Explorer Tom War Memorial in Ridgewell stands on The Green. It's a monument, not a person, but I bet it has opinions. Does it like the weather? Ask it and take a picture while you're at it!

Explorer Tom Sturmer War Memorial in Braintree stands there looking vaguely confused about its own job. I bet it gets a lot of 'sorry, wrong town' energy from tourists. Snap a blurry pic if you can find it without getting lost first!

Explorer Tom Devil's Grove in Braintree? That's cheeky. I bet the devil just stopped by for a coffee and left his hat behind. Look for red stains.

Explorer Tom Pettyfield Wood has an old barn nearby, which means someone left their lunch there centuries ago. Dig around carefully and tell me what you find.

Explorer Tom East Town Park is just that, east. Very specific. Probably full of benches where people nap. Find the comfiest looking one and sit there for a minute.

Explorer Tom Latchley's Farm moated site and fishponds in Braintree has ponds that might be home to angry carp. Don’t throw bread unless you’re ready for a splash!

Explorer Tom This path goes from Hickford Hill to Clare, which sounds like a fancy girl. I bet the hill is jealous. Send me a postcard if you meet her.
